Bohr predicted that the energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is E = - k ____ n 2 E is the energy of the e - k is the Bohr Constant, x J n is the Bohr Orbit For energy values: Positive means repulsive energy (because it’s a high value) Negative means attractive energy (because it’s a low value) Therefore, an e - s energy in an atom will always be negative EX3-1 (of 10)
Calculate the energy of an e - in the 3 rd Bohr Orbit of a hydrogen atom E = - k ____ n 2 = x J= x J ___________________ 3 2 EX3-2 (of 10)
Calculate the energy change when an e - drops from n = 2 to n = 1 in a hydrogen atom. E 2 = - k ____ n 2 = x J= x J ___________________ 2 2 E 1 = - k ____ n 2 = x J ___________________ 1 2 EX3-3 (of 10)
The energy change (ΔE) is equal to the final energy state minus the initial energy state: ΔE = E 1 - E 2 = ( x J) – ( x J) Calculate the energy change when an e - drops from n = 2 to n = 1 in a hydrogen atom. = x J For changes in energy: Positive means energy was absorbed Negative means energy was released Therefore, this hydrogen atom released energy EX3-4 (of 10)
The energy released is given off as a photon, and the photon’s energy is the absolute value of ΔE: Calculate the energy change when an e - drops from n = 2 to n = 1 in a hydrogen atom. E photon = | ΔE │ = | x J │ = x J EX3-5 (of 10)
If an electron is removed from an atom, the atom has been IONIZED Calculate the ionization energy of a ground state hydrogen atom E 1 = - k ____ n 2 = x J ___________________ 1 2 E out =0 J EX3-6 (of 10)
ΔE = E out - E 1 = (0 J) – ( x J) = x J If an electron is removed from an atom, the atom has been IONIZED Calculate the ionization energy of a ground state hydrogen atom The positive energy change means that the hydrogen atom absorbed this energy to release the electron EX3-7 (of 10)
